We play the games and can answer questions, but we have no control over business decisions of the company. Emailing Spiderweb sends your message to Jeff, Mariann, and Linda, who are the only people who can actually do anything about this. Yeah, that was more along the lines of "I hope Spiderweb doesn't reply to each and every one of those emails but just posts one reply in their forums." However, it seems the powers that be are seldom to be seen on these boards. Which is okay, I guess. I just think handling this matter on the forums or on desura (or any other place where it can be easily and publicly read) is a better approach using a limited supply of time than personal e-mails, that's all.

And now it's not available for linux on desura anymore. Anyone care to shed some light into this? On desura itself there's quite a few posts about emailing spiderweb directly and asking politely about this, but I think this forum would be a much better place, as you can reach many people with just one post.

And today I noticed that the linux and mac versions were added to desura as well, which is a great thing. Thanks for that. Any chance of getting desura keys retroactively for the humble bundle buyers? If not, how come?

So I asked SW about a desura key and what they thought about getting the linux version on desura as well and this is what they answered: Originally Posted By: spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Basically, we're extremely busy, and I'm not sure adding this capability is worth the effort. If we have more requests for it, we'll rethink this, but I'm honestly not sure what the big add-on from it would be. Edit: To clarify my previous post: Only the windows version of Avadon is available on Desura.

This is nothing Humble Bundle specific though. We're just taking it as a welcome opportunity to raise the attention about desura keys. Of course Avadon first would have to be available on desura before keys could be added to the bundle. The Humble team has stated on multiple occasions that it is not in their power to make desura keys available but that the devs have to come to an agreement with desura -- they wouldn't share with me how such an agreement can be reached or what the possible pitfalls are. [edit] And I just realized it already is on desura

Wow... I just don't get it. That file is the installer itself. It's self-extractable. The first part of the file is the installer, the second part is the data. Can you please paste the content of the file strace.err (probably best to wrap it in tags) after running the following command: $ strace ./avadon-linux-1331768904-bin 2> strace.err I hope you have strace installed I'll check back tomorrow. edit: I thought about a 32/64 bit issue as well, but the error should've been a different one. Also the first post has the same issue on a 32 bit machine.

This is getting curiouser and curiouser... $ ./avadon-linux-1331768904-bin still gives you the 'file not found' error? Please post what $ file avadon-linux-1331768904-bin gives you. I really don't know what's happening, so here are a two far reached things you can try a) $ unset DISPLAY; ./avadon-linux-1331768904-bin (You have to open a new terminal after that one as it screws with the environment variables. This will be undone in a new terminal) $ mv avadon-linux-1331768904-bin avadon-linux-1331768904.bin $ ./avadon-linux-1331768904.bin

That's strange. Maybe Ubuntu renamed it right after downloading? Please give the output of $ ls -l avadon*

Did you actually make the file executable? Try running $ chmod u+x ./avadon-linux-1331768904-bin $ ./avadon-linux-1331768904-bin

I'd like to know this as well. Just recently I mailed Humble Bundle about this enquiring why there are so few desura keys available. So let me take this chance and ask you (the developer) directly: How come there are steam keys available but no desura keys? Do they ask too much of your profit or is it just not worth it because the market share of desura is so little? Or maybe it's another reason entirely. I'm just curious as I really would like to see a desura key to be able to play this game comfortably on linux.

The .bin file _is_ the Mojo Installer. Just do the following after downloading it: $ chmod u+x avadon-linux-1331768904.bin $ ./avadon-linux-1331768904.bin The installer should pop up and let you install the game with no trouble.
